There aren’t a lot of better places to be in the fall than Wisconsin. With all our amazing forests, there’s just a ton of foliage and fall colors in Wisconsin to see pretty much everywhere you go. You’ll find tons of leaf peepers trekking their way to Door County or along the Great River Road, but most of those folks are missing out on the very best, most scenic, and beautiful drive to see fall foliage in Wisconsin. The Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive is a 115-mile-long path through 50,000 acres of the southern and northern units of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. You’ll pass through small towns, get up close to a ton of interesting terrain formed by the Wisconsin glaciation, and see an amazing array of colors thanks to the miles and miles of oak, maple, and aspen trees. You’ll go right by one of the most popular fall color spots at Holy Hill and have the opportunity to climb a couple of observation towers to get a bird’s eye view of all the beauty. Basically, it’s the perfect autumn drive and one of the best scenic drives in Wisconsin.
